Seriously? How is it even possible to never leave your own country? I'm currently LIVING in my 5th country and have probably travelled to 40-50. Whilst I know that's unusual I can't imagine how insular a view you'd have by staying in one country and thus one culture your whole life.

The difference is that if you live in the USA you can travel anywhere within it and any time of the year and find hot weather somewhere. Us Brits get 3 weeks (if we're lucky) per year of hot weather. That's why we NEED to travel ;0)

There is so much to see right here in the US. Grand Canyon, Statue of Liberty, Yosemite, redwoods, Yellowstone, Golden Gate Bridge, all the Washington, D.C. stuff, and the list goes on. I don't think it's odd not to travel. Europe all the countries are right next to each other. a train or car will get you there. I have a 15 hr plane trip after I make my way to the coast (another 8hrs to do that).

50 or more countries, You must be either a military brat or mooching off mommy and daddy's money! Well how about joining the real world were traveling the world isn't everything! How about owning 2 houses a boat, two cars and having actual bills to pay! I've traveled but who could travel that much and still get all that accomplished!

Who'd have guessed this topic would get do feisty??! Lol. I'm in the UK, and it's the norm to travel abroad. I have been to about 20 countries and have a mental list of plenty more I want to visit. I agree that the US or Australia for example are SO vast that there is little need to go abroad, but, I also agree that it's healthy to experience other countries and cultures. If you can afford it, why not? I have an annual holiday abroad, sometimes 2. I don't understand why someone would get so offended by another person being well travelled, that just wreaks of jealousy to me. My favourite place to visit was Hong kong and I recommend it to anyone.

I was never jealous. I think traveling is fabulous as well and would love to do it in the future. But just because someone has not traveled does not mean they are completely ignorant of other cultures.
